The Naperville Post

Opal Enterprises, siding contractors in Naperville, has received the Angie’s List Super Service Award for the third year in a row. The company can also handle sliding door installation in Lisle and other exterior home remodeling services.

NAPERVILLE, IL — Opal Enterprises, a company that can handle sliding door installation in Lisle, window replacement in Hinsdale and other exterior home remodeling projects in the surrounding area, was recently awarded the ‘Angie’s List Super Service Award’ for the third year in a row.

The award is given to just 5% of the businesses listed on Angie’s List. To be eligible, companies like Opal Enterprises need to maintain a superior service rating from customers who have registered on the Angie’s List website. Customers can rate their experience with service providers to help others choose which company is best for their project requirements.

“We’ve been advertising on Angie’s List for three years now and we’re very excited that we’ve received their Super Service award all three years. Although advertising on Angie’s List isn’t cheap, we’ve found that it’s a valuable source of potential customers. These people might have been burned by a poor contracting experience, or maybe learned the hard way that a cheaply priced contractor might produce negative results. Now this homeowner wants to learn from their neighborhood peers about the good and the bad contractors out there. Our ideal customer is the picky, careful to attend to details type of customer! Everyone here at Opal Enterprises excels at customer service and we think it shows!” said Tara D. Opalski, Marketing Manager for Opal Enterprises (http://www.opalenterprises.net/).

Opal Enterprises has 55 reports with Angie’s List and has an overall ‘A’ rating because 47 of those reports are an A. Although Opal Enterprises are well known as siding contractors in Naperville, the company has positive reports for window, roofing, gutters and door installations, as well as other types of exterior remodeling services. However, the company does not pamper Angie’s List customers. Every job is given the same type of excellent customer service and Opal Enterprises realizes that any customer could sign up and leave a review on Angie’s List at any time.

“Once in a while we get a customer who has never contracted for professional remodeling. These are the hardest types of customers to please because they do not yet have a basis of comparison of what a good vs. bad contracting project might entail. When we get ‘A’ reports from these customers, it’s an exhilarating feeling! As we grow as a company, we expect to get a few unhappy customers, simply based on the fact that you cannot please everyone that we encounter, but you better believe we try very hard to please each customer we earn!” said Opalski.

Naperville, IL—Design & Promote, a Naperville Internet marketing firm focused on Web Design and Search Engine Optimization, donated website design and hosting for Naperville Chamber TEAM B2B’s 3^rd Annual Bags Tournament to benefit nonprofit organization KidsMatter. The tournament this year raised over $10,000, which is more than double the funds accumulated last year.

TEAM B2B is a Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce leads group that focuses on business-to-business relationships. This was their third year hosting the Bags Tournament, but this was the first year the event had its very own website.

“Since I was a sponsor at last year’s event I realized the challenges TEAM B2B was having for their registrants. I wanted to make the process smoother by building a website which linked to online registration for both sponsors and players. This was able to give them the ability to not only register for the event but they were also able to upload company logos, send email invitations and more,” said Bruce Jones, owner of Design & Promote.

The tournament was held in Naperville on Saturday, October 22^nd and KidsMatter’s Executive Director Idalynn Wenhold was present for the event.

“KidsMatter is so grateful to Design & Promote for the amazing website and registration process they created for the Team B2B Bags Tournament. The turnout was twice the size of last year and I believe a lot of that should be credited to the tournament’s website,’ said Idalynn.

Chicago SEO firm, Design & Promote is no stranger to assisting the not-for-profit world. Last year the company offered Naperville web design at a nearly fifty-percent discount to all nonprofit organizations in the Chicago area.

“After years of working in the Internet field I know how important it is for a company or organization to have a well presented and functional website. It is a great method to get your message out there and increase exposure. Creating a website for a fundraising event does just the same, and increased exposure will inevitably lead to a more successful turnout,” Jones said.

The 3^rd Annual Bags Tournament had a total of 65 bags team compete, 17 teams in the competitive bracket and 48 in the social. Some of the big winners include:

• Competitive Bracket Winners:  Team Name: Role Models- Dave Sutton & Chris Novy

• Men’s Long Toss Winner: Jim Gedvilas

Opal Enterprises, a company that handles window replacement in Hinsdale and replacement doors in La Grange, announces it is offering customers a free iPad2 with any completed project over $10,000.

NAPERVILLE, IL — Opal Enterprises, a company that provides homeowners with valuable services like window replacement in Hinsdale and the surrounding areas of Chicago, announces they are providing customers with a free iPad2 with a project completion.

The free iPad2 is a 16GB, Wi-Fi model and is available to any homeowner who completes a project with Opal Enterprises. Customers must pay in full via check or credit card and the offer is not valid for homeowners who choose to finance their project through Opal Enterprises. Projects must exceed $10,000 and be completed now through December. Opal Enterprises realizes that not every customer would prefer an iPad and is instead offering a $200 discount in lieu of the tablet.

“iPads are one of the hottest technology items around and we want our customers to have an thank you gift from us that they can actually use. So many other contractors offer clients $500 off of their project. However, the homeowners we talk to don’t even realize they’re getting any money off since this is taken off their proposal before they ever pay a cent towards their project. Instead, we want our iPad2 to be a tangible thank you for choosing Opal Enterprises as their exterior remodeler!” said Tara D. Opalski, Marketing Manager for Opal Enterprises (http://www.opalenterprises.net/).

Opal Enterprises has been serving the Chicagoland areas for more than 10 years and works as window replacement, roofing and siding contractors in Bolingbrook and the surrounding areas. The company focuses its efforts on customer service, quality products and professional installation, no matter how big or how small the project is, such as adding replacement doors in La Grange or replacing siding in Bolingbrook. The company has an A+ rating with Angie’s List and the Chicagoland BBB and has even qualified for the Angie’s List Super Service award, the highest honor the organization provides local contractors. The company has a stellar reputation with both homeowners and vendors. Customers can rest easy when they choose to work with Opal Enterprises, as the company is fully insured, licensed and accredited for the work it does.

“We’ve been focusing our efforts on helping homeowners improve their home’s appearance and energy efficiency for the last seven years and we think it shows.

We’ve completed hundreds of home improvement projects around the Chicago area and we’d love to help make your dream home a reality. To see a list of completed projects and to see if your project qualifies for a free iPad2, give us a call. We’d love to show you how we can help,” said Opalski.

The Comedy Shrine, in Naperville, is excited to announce they will be hosting The Seventh Python, a documentary film about Monty Python’s music guru Neil Innes, on Friday, August 14th at 8 pm. Special comedy and concert appearance by Mark & Brett Hudson (the Hudson Brothers), based on Mark’s one man show Living On The Edge.

The Seventh Python is a 2008 musical documentary film about the career, music and philosophy of pop satirist and songwriter Neil Innes, who has been known as the “seventh” member of the six-man Monty Python comedy troupe. The film, however, shows how Innes’ influence and experience goes far beyond that chapter, to include his work with the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, The Rutles and other work. The Frozen Pictures film had its premiere at the American Cinematheque’s Mods & Rockers Film Festival at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood in June 2008. The film was directed by Burt Kearns, produced by Brett Hudson and written by Kearns & Hudson. The film features Innes in performance in Los Angeles, Sussex, England and Melbourne, Australia and features Pythons John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin, as well as singer-songwriter Aimee Mann, Matt Groening (creator of The Simpsons), and composer/arranger John Altman, among others. On April 12, 2009, the director and producer of The Seventh Python received the Las Vegas Film Festival’s Golden Ace Award for “superior and standout filmmaking.” Three days later, the film was chosen as the Opening Selection of the 2009 Pacific Palisades Film Festival.

“I’ve seen the movie, The Seventh Python, and it’s a must see for any Monty Python or Neal Innes fan! It’s a wonderfully funny and charming piece of film making by my good friend Brett Hudson!” says David Sinker, owner of The Comedy Shrine.”Having Mark and Brett Hudson perform together after the movie is an incredible bonus! Mark has become the music producer of choice for Ringo Starr, Aerosmith, and Ozzie Osbourne! If his one man show is anything like the You Tube videos that feature him, the music/comedy concert will be hilarious!”

This is a one night only special only so make sure you purchase your tickets today. Show information: Friday, August 14th at 8 pm at The Comedy Shrine, 22 E. Chicago Avenue, Naperville, IL (the corner of Washington & Chicago Avenue in downtown Naperville).
